I am a Healing Touch for Animals Certified Practitioner and Reiki Master. I have completed Pet first aid and several other healing / energy based modalities. I also have taken an Animal Science course to establish a stronger knowledge of animal studies.

I always knew I had a special bond with animals ever since I was a small child. I was attracted to helping animals in need and started very young taking care of a tom cat that would come home with all sorts of punctures and abrasions. I would clean and disinfect his injuries as well as administer medication and shots.

My mother has always had a gift reading people and being able to look at this world with a greater sense of purpose. As part of raising her children, she instilled a unique way at looking and treating all living things.

I first took Reiki level 1 as a teenager and started looking at other modalities that peeked my interest but I never truly felt fulfilled with any of them. I was always attracted to working with animals, therefore when I stumbled upon an energy course related to animals called Healing Touch for Animals founded by Carol Komitor and that it just happened to be in Calgary, I couldn’t resist.

Since I have started on this journey I have grown tremendously as a healer as well as a human being. I have worked with several different animals including, horses, dogs, cats, goats, birds and turtles. I have also worked directly with horse trainers, animal rescue shelters and farmers.

Rescue shelters in particular bring many challenges as well as rewards. I have helped many animals begin new lives and I have helped many animals pass peacefully. Every experience opens my eyes to new possibilities and new awareness.

My greatest intention is to work closely with you, the pet owner, helping you take charge of the continuing care of your animal, in the most appropriate way.

I work in conjunction with Vets and feel that energy work as well as medical procedures can only go so far by themselves. Together though, I believe miracles can happen. I am excited for any future challenges that will arise and I am always happy to help our four legged friends and companions.

My belief is “seeing is believing” and I have seen incredible things happen in my short time, by “achieving wellness through balanced energy”.
